Why Inca Outdoors
A trekking company, not a reseller
We run our own departures with our own crew. That is how we keep groups small and standards the same on every trip.
Small groups
Fewer people on the trail means a pace that suits you and a guide who knows your name.
Local guides
Our guides grew up in these valleys. They speak English, know the routes in every season and carry oxygen and first aid.
Real mountain cooking
Hot, fresh meals prepared at camp by our own cooks, with vegetarian and other diets catered for when you tell us ahead.
Everything arranged
Permits, tickets, trains, transfers and camp equipment are booked and checked before you arrive.

Before you go
Questions travelers ask us
How many days should I spend in Cusco before a trek?
At least two. Cusco sits at 3,400 m and your body needs time to adapt before you climb higher. Easy days in the city and the Sacred Valley are the best preparation.
When is the best time to visit?
May to October is the dry season, with clear skies and cold nights. November to April is greener and quieter, with rain most afternoons. The Inca Trail closes every February.
Do I need to be very fit?
It depends on the route. Our pages grade every trip from easy to challenging. If you walk regularly and have acclimatized, the moderate routes are within reach.
How do I book?
Send us an inquiry with your dates. Once we confirm availability, we explain the deposit and the documents we need, such as your passport details for permits and tickets.
